 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

District of Columbia Code Returning Citizens Coordination Act

This bill requires the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to provide, every 90 days, specified information (e.g., the scheduled release date) to the Mayor of the District of Columbia for each person under the jurisdiction of the BOP pursuant to the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997. The BOP must also provide, upon the request of the Mayor, such information to the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District.

The Mayor of the District of Columbia may not disclose the provided information outside of the District government or to any District of Columbia law enforcement agency, but may disclose such information to counsel for the detained individuals, and to organizations that provide legal representation to individuals in criminal or post-conviction matters, or in matters related to re-entry.
